If you do a search today, the day this article was written, of "tattoo directory" without the ""s, you will find a list of the top tattoo directories. Lets take a look at these and compare by taking two cities in the US and seeing what results come up.
1. Number one on the list is aaatattoodirectory. After doing a couple quick searches at this directory these results came up:
a. For San Jose California there are eight results with address and phone numbers all on one huge page with many other cities and parlors. It's basically one long list of tattoo shops. There isn't a way to rate or review a shop or artist.
b. For Dallas Texas we find 17 different tattoo parlors. All on one page again and without any way to review or rate the site.
2. TattooDirectory.com is the second site and here are the results for both cities:
a. For San Jose California, the directory has...well, zero results for San Jose which is the states third largest city and the countries 10th largest city.
b. For Dallas Texas, tattoodirectory has...umm, again zero results! In fact, only one city in Texas seems to be in the directory: Byran.
3. Tattoos.com has the best domain name for sure. But how about the directory?
a. San Jose Cal, has zero results. In fact California as a whole has only fifteen different tattoo parlors listed. One good thing is that each listing has a link to a separate page. Still no way of rating or reviewing the tattoo shops, parlors or artists.
b. Dallas Texas has zero results and only nine total parlors listed for the whole state.
4. JustTattoo.com is lower on the rankings but how are the results for finding tattoo shops?
a. For San Jose Ca, JustTattoo.com has 20 listings. Plus for each listing you not only get the phone number and address, but you have an opportunity to write a review of the shop. Also, each listing has it's own page with a satellite map to help you find it.
b. Dallas Texas has 19 results and again there is a way to review each parlor at the parlors own separate page.
JustTattoo.com also has some other unique advantages such as separate directories for tattoo supplies and equipment, piercing and body art listings, and even tanning salons.
So it seems, not all online directories are equal, but some are definately worth using.
